Will 5200 slow cure SEAL in 24 hrs? Directions say, 7 days to cure, I'm interested in sealing in 24hr. Has anybody got any info on it's sealing time?

just buy GE Silicone II outdoor window sealant from Home Depot. it works great and will cure in 24hrs.

I tried that last week, it didn't work. I'm using it on a new ramp loader. So far, everything I've used, has been blown out when the boats been driven. I've got 5200 slow cure, but can't find fast in time for the weekend.

You shouldnt need to silicone your loader in place. you've got water coming in from the holes the bolts go through?

well when i got stuck loading your shitrocket on the trailer cause your crew was scared of the water i noticed it. I think because your intake is not threaded and just through bolted its more prone to leaking.

R/C Pilot has a JE pump so the loader is actually bolted to the hull. I would suggest a little Sea-Goin Poxy Putty around each hole, between the loader and the hull, and maybe even a little extra on the shank of each bolt. This will do a better job of filling/sealing the bolt holes than any silicone-based product while adding a little strength at the same time.

Yea getting closer, Im out at 7am.
the silicone on the loader deal is a hassel. I dont silicone mine cause Im always taking them in and out but if your going to leave it in, its a good idea.
speaking of loaders....

3m 4200 fast cure.
Now the more mosture the stuff sees the faster it will cure. So after it is all set and done spray it down with water from a mist bottle.

This will be the 3rd time sealing the loader (holes). 1st time was my mistake, (I was very tired, trying to finish a bunch at 1am before vacation) used caulking that had silicone, that didn't take but 15min to blow that out. Through bolted with washers and lock nuts. Tightened with screwdriver and wrench. The 2nd time, I used clear silicone on the bolts, bolt holes and thin amount between plate hull. Because the 1st time, when it blew the caulking out, the loader was loose, so this time I used the 3/8 impact and a screwdriver bit, with a wrench at the other end. Drew up nice, sealed considerably better, but I couldn't leave the boat in the water overnight. I'm kinda tired of jackin with it. So I did pick up some 3m 5200, but they didn't have fast cure, so I'm hoping that 5200 slow, will at least seal.
